[ Wolfwood is honestly surprised -- wide-eyed and almost shocked enough to take a step back when those ears strt moving -- by the fervor of Jiaoqiu's protestations. And then the guy has the absolute gall to reach through the door with his hand, to offer Wolfwood chopsticks?
It's almost like none of these people are actually afraid of him. Don't they know he tried to kill somebody!? ]
You're saying you aren't a good enough cook to poison somebody without messin' with the flavors?
[ He has to make a joke out of it, to cover up his shock. He's not very good at jokes, though, and his smile is more than a little crooked. But he's trying! He's really trying.
It's important that doctors don't see how scared you are, because then they try to make you not scared and that's even worse.
Hesitantly, he reaches for those chopsticks. ]
I bet you could do it. Cynanide with almonds, or oleander mixed in with the bay? It's not that hard.
[ None of these people seem worried about the very real threat outside, so maybe they don't understand danger when they're looking at it? He can help with that. ]
